Warm Up Questions… What is an estuary? What are the 3 Living Things of the Salt Marsh that help determine water quality? What are the 5 Non-Living Things of the Slat Marsh that help us to determine the health?

Question #1 What is a macroinvertebrate?

Questions 2 - 4 #2 What is an example of a macroinvertebrate that is very sensitive to pollution? #3 What is an example of a macroinvertebrate that is somewhat sensitive to pollution? #4 What is an example of a macroinvertebrate that is very tolerant to pollution?

Question 5 #5 What are the 2 types of adaptations?

Question 6 #6 What plant is known as the bully of the salt marsh because it is very invasive and crowds out native plants?

Question #7 #7 What are the special root systems of some plants that help it to reproduce quickly and spread throughout the marsh?
